Hi List, I am trying to look up an object using getAnywhere, where the object I am looking for is given by the _value_ of the variable I am looking for. Since getAnywhere calls substitue on its argument it is looking for an object with the name of the argument not its value. Is there a way to work around this, or do I have to make my own getAnywhere without the substitute?
This is an example to clarify things: > a <- 1 > name = "a" > getAnywhere(name) # the intend here is to find the object a with value 1 not > the object name with value a A single object matching 'name' was found It was found in the following places .GlobalEnv with value [1] "a" # I'd like to see a 1 here the value of a Regards, Bastian ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
